Art is visual storytelling. Most artists try to capture a moment, an emotion or a message in each piece that they create. The struggle is to find a medium that adequately captures the theme or meaning of a given project. Jennifer Kim Sohn, activist and multimedia artist, found herself in such a predicament in 2019 when she began a project to visually document the number of refugees that have been displaced throughout the world.
“Since it was making one mark and repeating it 25 million times, I was thinking of maybe just pen marks,� Sohn said about the initial concept of the art installation. One pen mark to represent one displaced refugee. Eventually she changed her mind and decided that it would be better to use fabric with stitches to represent every refugee.
